Awards &
Recognition
Daisy Diamonds Burlesque is proud to celebrate the achievements of our dancers, performers and creative community. While awards are never the sole focus of what we do, they reflect the passion, dedication and artistry that our students bring to every class, performance and event.
We have been lucky enough to receive three awards for our original show The Enchanted Emporium which debuted at Colchester Fringe Festival 2025.
“Audience Choice“
“Pick of the Fringe (local)“
“Outstanding show with movement“
These accomplishments represent not only technical skill but also confidence, creativity and stage presence, qualities we actively nurture within our classes.
Three Wise Women
Three Wise Women is a gripping feminist production inspired by the real stories of Essex women who were prosecuted for witchcraft. Exploring the pain, injustice and persecution they endured, the production also celebrates their resilience, reclaiming their stories with pride, integrity and compassion.
At its heart, the show is a hopeful reminder that, both then and now, community, connection and standing together are what give us strength.
Our debut production was performed in the beautiful Minories Garden, directly in front of the historic Folly in the heart of Essex. A particularly poignant setting for a story rooted so deeply in the local history of the women we sought to remember.
We were incredibly proud to sell out every performance of our debut run, and delighted to receive the Artists Pick Award as part of the Colchester Fringe.
The production was also reviewed by Broadway Baby, who praised the way the piece brings these forgotten women back into the spotlight and described the outdoor setting as a powerful connection to the history behind the story.

Our performers have participated in a variety of events, earning praise for originality, expression and storytelling. Many students who once joined simply to build confidence have gone on to perform and develop their own artistic styles. Their success highlights the supportive and encouraging environment that Daisy Diamond strives to create.
We believe that every personal milestone deserves celebration. For some, an award may be a trophy or title. For others, it may be taking their first class or the courage to perform for the first time, the growth of self confidence or the rediscovery of joy in movement. Each achievement large or small is equally meaningful with us.
Recognition also extends beyond formal awards. Daisy Diamond has been acknowledged for fostering inclusivity, positive body image and accessible experiences. These values remain central to our identity and guide everything we offer.
As our community continues to grow, so do the opportunities for performance, creativity and accomplishment. We look forward to supporting future achievements and celebrating the unique journeys of every person who steps into our space.
